About IntoConcrete

We are Mario and Roberto Guagnelli. A father and son duo interpreting the way concrete functions as a contemporary lifestyle material. Our story begins in 2014 in a Chicago basement. We were amazed by an extraordinary concrete dining table on a visit to Scandinavia. The monolithic concrete surface and minimal wooden legs had a sense of elegance that left us in awe. We come from a long line of Italian sculptors who have created works of art residing in some of the world's iconic buildings like the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. We are proud of our ancestry, and we have always wanted to do it justice. Inspired by our visit and our heritage, we got to work. From our basement, ideas and sketches began materializing. We started looking for partner designers who held the same passion and dedication for concrete. Eventually, we stumbled upon Argentinian designer Francisco Corvi. Together in 2015, we created our first product: the Corvi Wine Cooler.Read their story
